Is coconut milk an energy sustainable and environmentally friendly


Recommended Posts

I’m drinking coconut milk rn with my froot loops because I live alone now and wanted to start buying oat milk but it was out at the store so I settled for coconut instead 

but now sustainable is it in comparison to oat milk? I know oat is far better for the environment overall in comparison to almond milk given how much water is needed to make almond milk vs oat….,, but now I have the same question for coconut milk

anyone know

Well, if you can't chose between those 2, have you ever tried almond or hazelnut milk?

I’ve tried almond!!! I have yet to try hazelnut but feel like that would be delicious, especially a vanilla or chocolate flavoured!! Have you tried hazelnut milk??

Literally NOTHING is environmentally friendly at this point as we are nearing the 8 billion population mark. Whatever it is that we like consuming will have to be produced in insanely large quantities that will, in one or another way, damage some part of the ecosystem.

I like nut milk, if you know what I mean. :queenflopga_walk_sass_pink:

Back on topic though; I also wonder what the environmental impacts of all these milk alternatives are… a quick search indicates that coconut milk is a notch above almond and cow milk in impact, since they’re only grown in certain regions and require lots or shipping/export. But other grain and nut based mills are better since they require less water to grow, make, don’t take too much land, etc.

Even though my response is a bit belated, I wanted to say that coconut milk is definitely a tasty choice for your froot loops! While oat milk is known for its environmental benefits compared to almond milk, coconut milk also has some sustainability perks. Coconuts require less water to grow than almonds, which is great for conserving water resources. Moreover, coconut trees are highly sustainable and require minimal pesticides or fertilizers. Additionally, I prefer natural coconut milk not just because it tastes amazing, but also because it offers a wide range of nutrients and amino acids that are beneficial for our health and well-being. It's a great source of healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals.
